Forty-one students and six top-ranked instructors met at Pinehurst over the March 3–4 weekend for NC District’s latest Association Croquet clinics.

Ron Lloyd, Pinehurst croquet pro, led a group of junior players from Bill Hartmann’s Gamewell Middle School program. After a day of instruction, Lloyd organized an informal mini-tournament for the group, complete with trophies.

Danny Huneycutt’s class included several players from a new club on Daniel Island in South Carolina. They weren’t the only players to travel from out of state. David Lyon, an up-and-coming player, drove all the way from Pennsylvania to attend the clinic.
